I tried to move to Backbone.js but I'm not sure I like the style of coding it advocates. I ended up moving to KnockoutJS. I find knockout's data-binding and dependency tracking more elegant. For instance: <div data-bind = "style: color: color">Colored text</div> class SideBar color: ko.observable("white") promptColor: -> cssColor = prompt("Please enter a CSS color:") @color(cssColor) sidebar = new SideBar() ko.applyBindings(sidebar, document.body) sidebar.promptColor() This style works pretty well, even as the app becomes large. With backbone I was less sure where to put things and the syntax tended to be more verbose. [fixed knockout=backbone]
